Remember Samsung's second-gen dual-screen Android clamshell we spotted
about a month ago? Well, here it is at last: announced in partnership
with China Telecom, this SCH-W999 flip phone packs two 3.5-inch 480 x
800 Super AMOLED panels back to back, along with a 1.2GHz dual-core
Qualcomm MSM8660, Android 2.3 with TouchWiz, HyperSkin back cover (as
featured on the Galaxy Nexus
for grip plus anti-smear), five megapixel camera, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi
and WAPI (China's not-so-successful take on WiFi, basically).
Like many phones on China Telecom, the W999 comes with dual SIM slots and dual-mode connectivity (GSM and CDMA2000, with the latter offering EV-DO 3G), but with the additional support for penta-band radio for globetrotters. though there's no word on prices just yet -- well, just so you know, the predecessor W899 starts from ¥8990 ($1,410), so good luck with your garage sale.
